Present continuous 1996
In a funeral Chinese people usually put the photo of the decedent in the middle of the paper-made wreath. Here the two wreaths are put at a right angle with the photo replaced by the television screen in the middle and a vidicon is installed in the middle of the facing wreath .
A pre-composed video is being showed in the facing wreath. This shows the decedent's family members with serious facial expressions. The video is black and white and many human images appear gradually in the side wreath; when he turns to the side wreath, he will see his left side which is both familiar and strange.
In the screens of the small television screens around the wreaths, recorded video images of blooms will be shown repeatedly.
